FISH Creek and Dis-
trict Primary School
welcomed a new act-
ing principal Dale
Banks in May, a for-
mer student of the
school.
Mr Banks comes to the
school with a background
of working with disen-
gaged youth.
“I was working in the
Latrobe Valley with stu-
dents going through the
court system and helping
them to re-engage with
education,” he said.
“Prior to that, I was
working with students in
Grade 5 and 6 who had
been expelled. It is a bit
of a change of pace at Fish
Creek,” he said.
Mr Banks said he was
keen to return to Fish
Creek as a way to get more
experience and work with
the close knit community.
He said the school had
faced some disruption in
the past and he hopes to
provide a bit of stability
and will remain in the act-
ing principal position until
at least the end of the year.
“I have loved it so
far. It has been great get-
ting to know the families
and the students are fan-
tastic here. I haven’t had
the chance to work with
an entire community be-
fore,” he said.
“Fish Creek is a very
community
orientated
school.”
Mr Banks said his
aim is to keep things go-
ing along smoothly at the
school.
“We have been work-
ing on grounds infrastruc-
ture. We have a new fence
around the basketball
court, new outdoor blinds
for the junior area to cre-
ate an outdoor learning
space and a new retaining
wall around the sandpit,”
he said.
“We are working with
the local kindergarten on
our transition program.
We want to continue our
good relationship with the
kindergarten and we are
